What’s new in the library? A lot. To make the long story short. We get a std::string_view, parallel algorithm of the Standard Template Library, a file system library, and the three new data types std::any, std::optional, and std::variant. Let’s look at the details.
Now, I have prepared the pdf bundle to the C++ memory model/ Das C++ Speichermodell. To get it is quite simple.
C++11, C++14, and C++17. I guess you see the pattern. Later this year, we will get a new C++ standard. In March 2017, the C++17 specification reached the Draft International Standard stage. Before I dive into the details, I will give you an overview of C++17.
That is easy. Both of you, the German and the English reader prefer the same pdf bundle: The C+ Memory Modell/ Das C++ Speichermodell.
I wrote a few posts about using concepts. Concepts are a named set of requirements. Let’s define a few concepts in this post.
The unification of templates, concepts, and placeholders goes on. This time, I will look closely at constrained (concepts) and unconstrained (auto) placeholders in the context of templates.
C++11 has auto unconstrained placeholders. You can use concepts in C++20 as constrained placeholders. What seems at first glimpse not so thrilling is for me the decisive quantum leap. C++ templates will become an easy to use C++ feature.
Task blocks use the well-known fork-join paradigm for the parallel execution of tasks.
Transactional memory is based on the idea of a transaction from the database theory. Transactional memory shall make the handling of threads a lot easier. That is for two reasons. Data races and deadlocks disappear. Transactions are composable.
I’m more than happy to say. I’m done with translating my more the 130 posts from http://www.grimm-jaud.de/index.php/blog to http://www.modernescpp.com/index.php. I started in April last year and it took me almost a year to translate my German posts into English. What does this mean for my German and my English blog?
